EMPAC has strong showing in election; GA special session called

Dec 02, 2016

In what turned out to be an unpredictable election, EMPAC still managed to pull off another banner year. Candidates endorsed by EMPAC had an 85-percent win rate in the election, including two likely victories in what it deemed the most important races for state employees and retirees - for governor and state treasurer.

Thank you to all members who worked hard to help elect candidates who support state employees and retirees, and all of you who voted for them. Now we must hold them to their promises!

Governor's race still undetermined;GA to return for special session

It’s been almost a month since the election, and we still have no closure on the governor’s race, even though Roy Cooper leads by more than 10,000 votes.
Gov. McCrory was granted a recount of votes in Durham County by the State Board of Elections on Wednesday. The board has set a firm deadline of 5 p.m. Monday to have the recount complete, and McCrory has stated he will respect the outcome whether he wins or loses.

SEANC lobbyists will be at the legislature ready to represent state employees and retirees should an issue of importance arise. We ask that members stay alert during this special session, as SEANC may call on you to come to Raleigh or contact your legislators to advocate for your rights. Pay attention to your emails, as SEANC will notify you the second we learn of a harmful bill.
